Recreate this ombre look at home

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply a nude base coat.
  4. Sponge olive green onto the tip half of the nail, dabbing upwards to fade it toward the cuticle.
  5. Repeat once or twice to deepen the color at the tips.
  6. Clean the skin around the nail and seal with a glossy top coat.
  7. A drop of cuticle oil at the end makes the photo-ready difference.

Pro tip: Put a little liquid latex or tape around the nail first — sponging is messy.

Olive green ombre nails: FAQ

How do you do ombre nails with regular polish?

Paint the colours side by side on a makeup sponge and dab it onto the nail, repeating 2–3 times. A glossy top coat blends the gradient.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does olive green nail polish suit my skin tone?

Olive and forest greens suit warm and olive undertones especially well; sage and mint soften cooler skin.
